Stratholme 5/29/08

Three of us went into Stratholme tonight to do a few quests for Yonezoe. There was Wranngar, Yonezoe and Casandraa. Yonezoe ended up leveling up to 58 in there so she can now go to the Outlands and quest, that was one good thing that came out of it, about the only good thing. About half way through the instance I decided we should shoot for Deathcharger's Reins, a mount dropped by Baron Rivendare. When we finally got to the Slaughter House the gate was down and I couldn't figure out why. This was only the second time I had tried for the mount and it was only the second time I had gone that far into Strtatholme as the groups usually break up long before we ever get that far. Stratholme is a pretty hard instance and people get discouraged. We wiped twice by the time we got there and I was getting discouraged but I figured after all that we would see if the mount would drop for us. I was pretty upset not to be able to open the gate and get a shot at it. I looked online and couldn't find out why that gate would be down and I couldn't remember what we did before to open it so we ended up hearthing out of there. After we got back to Shattrath I really looked into it online and finally found that we had to clear 3 rooms after killing the mobs outside them to get the gate to open, we only cleared 2 :(. I went back hoping it hadn't rest yet but it had. Basically what I got out of it was a 14 gold repair bill and not even a chance at the mount.

Daily Cooking 5/29/08

I did the daily cooking quest today on Wranngar. It was Super Hot Stew again for the third day in a row, this one is getting old. I had to go to Blades Edge and kill some Wind Serpents and Lashtail Raptors to get some meat. Once I had that I cooked it up and flew over to Forge Camp Terror and killed an elemental. I cooked my stew over his carcass and was done. I picked Barrel of Fish for my reward but no recipe again today. The daily cooking quest pays 7g59s plus the reward which was some good fish. I didn't bother doing it on Gomorra as it was the same quest for the third day in a row.

Daily's 5/29/08

I did my Shattered Sun daily's on Wranngar today along with Gaining the Advantage. It took me about an hour to get them all done. I try to do the Shattered Sun daily's in a different order each day to break up the monotony or it would bored me to death. I did the bombing run in one pass today, yesterday it took me 2 passes to get it done I was lagging so bad. Usually the only time it takes me 2 runs is when I am really lagging or I take off right behind someone. If I take off right behind someone then I get to watch them kill everything in front of me and there is nothing left for me to kill. Altogether I made about 120 gold which I sent to the bank. The gold is piling up :).

Blackrock Depths 5/29/08

I helped out a friend, Skullmage, in Balckrock Depths today on Wranngar. We started out with a full group of 5, me, another Druid Mynasgurith, a Hunter who's name I didn't get before they left and a Paladin who's name I didn't get before they left and Skullmage. We were down to 3 in our group by the end, me, Skullmage and Mynasgurith. We didn't have too much of a problem anyway until we all had a DC. I was still alive when I got back on but the other 2 were dead. I tried to rez the Druid so they could rez the Mage but they were still disconnected so they didn't get the rez. They had to run back from the graveyard and were able to find their way back to where they died which was good because I don't know my way around in there, I am more PvP than Dungeons. They were able to get a couple quests done though then Skullmage had to leave so the group broke up before we finished. That is how instances I group for go, that's why I don't do too many of them. Before we got going we were waiting for the hunter to show up and one of the people in our group that we summoned in, Mynasgurith, was flagged for PvP. There were 4 or 5 Horde waiting there outside the instance so I kept an eye on them. I stealthed and just sat there. One of them flagged but they weren't causing any trouble so I left them alone. Sure enough not too long after Mynasgurith got there one of them decided it would be fun to attack him, turned out it wasn't much fun for them. I got the 2 that were flagged and the others wisely decided not to join in. When they came back I just let them go, no honor in killing someone that low, I just did it the first time for payback.
